I am trying to use the Twitter Bootstrap button group as an actual set of form input controls. By default, these button groups can be made to function like a radio button or checkbox group, but since they use the <button>
element, they cannot actually be used like a radio button or checkbox.
In my research, I found this site which uses CSS to make these bootstrap buttons actually control radio buttons and checkboxes. The only issue is they use rather recent features of CSS to work, and therefore, require IE9 or above to work.
I would like to extend support to IE8. Is there another (perhaps JS controlled) solution which would offer the same features as the above link without the steep CSS requirements?
Thank you for your time.
